Aloha my name is Stacie and I am "mom" to 4 beautiful children. This site is began as the journey through my 5th pregnancy which I referred to as our "Unexpected Blessing." But it's also become a site about loss, dealing with miscarrige, renewed hope, and the road beyond this challenge in life.

I will be 6w3d based on ovulation date. I am looking forward to it, but also feel myself holding back from getting my […]
